CVE-2010-4008 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Centos:6 libxml2 to version 0:2.7.6-4.el6 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxml2 package and not the libxml2 package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.
libxml2 before 2.7.8, as used in Google Chrome before 7.0.517.44, Apple Safari 5.0.2 and earlier, and other products, reads from invalid memory locations during processing of malformed XPath expressions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted XML document.
